Identifying the main way an author organizes events and ideas in an informational text will help you better understand the topic.

Text Structure - Cause & Effect

A Cause - Effect Structure connects events that happen (effects) with why they happen (causes).

Words such as: because, as a result, therefore and if...then often signal this structure.
